I will help you to maximize the value of your critical business assets while ensuring they are legally protected. Having worked as a inside and outside general counsel for different types and sizes of companies, I understand the need for balance between practical business considerations and appropriate attention to legal issues. Because my experience is extensive and my office operation does not have layers of administration, I can provide a very cost-effective service.

Can you give some examples of how you can help my business?

I can help you to establish strong and healthy relationships with your customers and suppliers by developing and negotiating agreements that encompass your business needs and maximize the protection of your assets. Together we can assess potential risks in the relationships and strike an appropriate balance between risk management and business, I will ensure that your intellectual property assets are identified and assist in the implementation of the necessary protections. For example, I can establish an invention review process, guide you on trademark and copyright marking procedures, register basic trademarks, and help you to ensure that trade secrets retain legal protection.

Can you manage all of our legal issues?

I can personally handle the majority of legal issues that typically arise in a small company. For some matters that require unique certification or specialization, such as patent prosecution, securities regulation, and technical employment law issues, I can introduce you to a specialist with whom I have had previous successful experience.
